	Essence gems are the official and only currency in just three nations: [[Elori]], the Dwarven Holds, and Pirtair. The smaller unit is the essence disc, of which one hundred essence discs is equivalent to a single essence gem. Other nations accept essence gems, but they are much less common. Essence gems are small, luminous crystals with intrinsic magical value. They serve as the standard currency in Elori, the Dwarven Holds, and Pirtair. In other regions, they are rare but accepted, often treated as high-value trade goods or savings.
